To be considered for any role in any production affiliated with The Austin City Ballet all individuals must attend auditions at the appropriate designated times. The only exception to this is a death in the immediate family. Former members of ACB who are unable to attend the audition due to an illness or injury will be considered by the Director and Choreographers on an individual basis and must provide a medical excuse from a doctor. Roles will be assigned based primarily on the dancer’s technical ability and availability for rehearsals. Contracts will be assigned to principal roles.
